Question

Can someone help me please

Answer 1

x = 0 , y = 8

Explanation:

2x - 2y = -16 ... (i)

3x + y = 8 ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by 1 and (ii) by 2 we get;

2x - 2y = -16 ... (i) (a)

6x + 2y = 16 ... (ii) (b)

Adding (i) (a) and (ii) (b) we get;

8x + 0 = 0

x = 0/8 = 0

Replacing x = 0 in (ii)

3(0) + y = 8

y = 8
